Stop Valve

I love them they work so well and so easily to install. I’ve had them on for over a year and no leaks.

I've purchased so many of these after purchasing from Amazon, replaced all my water valves with these. Great quality valves. Easy to turn, simple push till click instalation.

Work wonderfully, don't have to have crimping tool or compression fitting stuff or like the old days of sweating copper with a torch. Too pricey to do a major project, but when you have a few to put in, worth every penny. Most recent project used two on PEX tubing. Cut tubing with cutter, mark correct depth and debur the PEX and slide it in. Too easy! Works on copper pipe also, and I have used SharkBite fittings on copper pipes with equal ease!

Worked like a charm. My home has/had plastic one piece water valve for the sinks & toilets etc. Over the last year I have begun to switch them out for new valves and new water lines. I was using the compression type of angle valves and came onto Amazon to order some and saw the SharkBite angle stops 1/2 inch for copper lines which is what we have. I ordered two of these to see if they worked as advertised and put them on today. So easy and no issues at all! I cut the old valves off with my dremel and the used emery cloth to clean the copper pipe really well and then in one motion press the fitting on firmly until it stops. I then gave a good tug just to be sure they were locked on. After hooking up the water lines and turning on the water, they work fine. (I did have my son on the phone as I turned the water on outside in case one blew off). I have checked them several times since earlier today and no signs of leaks. I'll check them over the next few days. I am very impressed with this product. So much easier than using two wrenches and using a compression style fitting which can take additional tightening, time, etc. I will be ordering many more of these as I switch out more of the valves and lines. I am including pictures of the old and the new SharkBite valves.

I didnt realize these valves spin freely when installed which was worrying at first. It doesnt look as clean as it could if the valve would stay at 90°. Theres no indication anywhere that the little plastic part is decorative. It just stuck on the pipe and the job was done. No skill required.

So long story short, I removed the brass compression ring with an extreme amount of effort and while I was doing this, the copper pipe was shrinking, due to being compressed. So when I went to put a normal 5/8 OD on after the removal, it didn't fit and just slid on and off the pipe. I ordered this in desperation because my water has been off since I had an open pipe and it was too late at night to call plumber to solder on a new pipe. I popped this on in 5 secs and turned the water back on to check for leaks while testing the open and closing of the valve. It is perfection. Saved me so much money and time. There are little teeth grooves on the inside so I can see why this won't be coming off. I am not certain how the no leaking works but I don't even care at this point. Words cannot express how grateful I am. I will only ever buy these going forward. Amazon also did an amazing job by having this delivered at 740am in the morning when I ordered it just before midnight. Thank you...thank you..thank you.

Excellent way to get rid of old valves.

I grew up as a offspring of a hardcore plumber. Learned how to sweat brass fittings to copper with Mapp at the ripe old age of 5. Was running copper lines and angle compression stops as my Dad napped in the truck.. Did that for years. Thank God for the energy of youth and getting paid with Cheeseburgers. While recently replacing a toilet, I ordered a couple of these angle stops with a compression stop in my pocket just in case.. I'm impressed.. Really impressed.. I removed the old compression stop and ferrule with a ol-timey puller, smoothed out the 1/2" copper with some 400 grit sandpaper and then followed it with some steel wool. I noted that the copper, while clean, still had a small groove from the 30 year old compression ferrule. Hesitantly, I pushed the new Sharkbite stop onto the copper and it bottomed out where I thought it would. My internal confusion was that the fitting when installed still spun around the copper pipe. Learned later that this was not a problem unless wrenching a nut onto the stop. The O-Ring was making the seal. Once pressure was up and tested, I connected the toilet line without incident. Twisted the valve on and off multiple times with no breach on the seal. As a point of reference, I used the other Sharkbite valve I ordered as a test to abuse and find a limit. I can honestly say that with a clean and "semi-polished" connection surface, I could not make the angle stop fail. That same angle stop is currently under use in the same bathroom on a different copper line. Wonderful product.. Will never go back to, cinching up compression valves ever again, waiting for the drip....... Please send me a dozen.. I want to replace all of the angle stops in my house..

Literal la mejor calidad

I started using these shut off valves for all my sinks and toilets. Very easy to install and have never had one leak or drip yet. 1/4 turn opens or closes the valve, and you only have to cut and clean the pipe, then press fit on and you're done. These are removable, so I guess when or if one ever fails it will be an even easier replacement.

Product shipped as advertised

amazing product, so nice and easy to use, however the price point is much higher that it should be for this product.

Replaced a 3 year old dripping compression fitting under a bathroom sink. First time using SharkBite after years of DIY sweating of fittings and I won’t go back to sweating again. Similar price but much quicker and no risk of overheating the cabinet or fittings.
